What I meant was, they both said it.
I just don't know which one of them was to have suppose to have said it.
She says it first:
ILSA
Play it once, Sam, for old time's
sake.
SAM
I don't know what you mean, Miss
Ilsa.
ILSA
Play it, Sam. Play "As Time Goes
By."
and then he says it afterwards:
RICK
You played it for her and you can
play it for me.
SAM
Well, I don't think I can remember
it.
RICK
If she can stand it, I can. Play it!
It just looks more to me like it came from her, not him.
There are more of the words "Play it again, Sam" coming from her than him.
She's the one that said "Play it, Sam."
All that is missing is the "again" word. He doesn't even say "Sam"!
I've seen that movie many times, and not once did I ever even think
that phrase came from him. I always thought it came from her...that the
audience
was deriving the words from her, not him. I guess everybody sees movies
differently.
